Metallics JBHC65 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and nut size does the Metallics JBHC65 hex bolt take?
The JBHC65 is a 1/2-13 hex bolt, so 13 threads per inch on a 1/2 inch diameter: standard UNC coarse thread. Any 1/2-13 UNC nut, coupling nut, or tapped 1/2 inch hole will take it. Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so it interchanges with other coarse-thread 1/2 inch hex cap hardware.
2) Do these Metallics bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
No. The JBHC65 hex bolts are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If your contract carries domestic sourcing requirements, these will not satisfy them.
3) What wrench or socket size fits these 1/2-13 hex bolts?
Head width across flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inches on the Metallics hex bolt, which is a 3/4 inch wrench or socket. That is the standard hex size for a 1/2 inch cap screw.
4) Can zinc plated hex bolts be used outdoors or in a wet location?
Zinc plating on the Metallics JBHC65 gives moderate corrosion resistance, fine for damp interiors, mechanical rooms, and covered exterior work. For continuous weather exposure, a corrosive atmosphere, or any wet location where the fastener sits in standing water, step up to hot-dip galvanized or stainless instead; zinc plating is a thin sacrificial coating and will rust through over time in those conditions.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC65, and can I buy fewer?
They ship in a jar of 50 pieces, and 50 each is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Other sizes and quantities are available by request if 1/2-13 x 1-3/4 is not the length you need.
6) What size hole do I need to drill for a 1/2-13 hex bolt to pass through?
Shank outside diameter on the JBHC65 runs 0.482 to 0.515 inches, so a 9/16 inch hole clears it comfortably for a bolted through-connection. A nominal 1/2 inch drilled hole is too tight to count on since the shank can measure up to 0.515. If you're threading into tapped material instead, the hole is tapped 1/2-13.
7) Are these hex cap screws or carriage bolts?
Hex head, not carriage. The JBHC65 has a hex head you drive with a wrench or socket, in zinc plated steel. If your application needs a smooth domed head with a square shoulder that pulls into wood, a carriage bolt is the right part instead.
8) How much does a jar of 50 Metallics hex bolts weigh for shipping?
A jar of the JBHC65 1/2-13 x 1-3/4 hex bolts comes in at 5.85 lbs. Useful if you're ordering several jars onto a van stock order or figuring freight on a bulk MRO buy.
